APM: virtual server port for passwordless

Hello,

 

 

I want to configure a passwordless client as website** says, but at the button says:

 

Important: This virtual server needs to use the Service Port 443. If the virtual server is not using that port, you need to change the Service Port to HTTPS under General Properties.

 

So does that mean I must use the port 443?? The thing is I want to use another one. e.g. 8883. So is it mandatory?

Thanks.

    It really just means you have to use SSL. You can't get a client certificate without it. As for the port number, 443 is the default for HTTPS, so if you want to use anything else you have to specify it in the host address:

     

     

    ex. https://www.example.com:8883
